Expansion joint sealing in Godshill
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. The enquiries we see most involve water dripping through deck or ramp joints and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, across car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Godshill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Godshill, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Godshill may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Related advice
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
FAQs: Godshill
Can you work on a hospital site such as Fordingbridge Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Godshill too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Expansion joint sealing in Godshill: the local picture
The 3 miles around Godshill take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Hospitals like Fordingbridge Hospital (1.9 miles west of Godshill) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Across sites such as Fordingbridge Business Park, which lies west of Godshill, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

What else we do in Godshill
Leave it or put it right?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use without shutting the whole car park. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. For buildings around smaller places like Godshill, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

When to call us in Godshill
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
Schools such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photos help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond and check the edges for soundness as we go.
